Giulio Negrini Guitars - Fine handmade Guitars

Biography...

The Music:
I start playing piano at four years old, at seven I begin studing trumpet in the local band. During the middle school, I seriously attend classical guitar lessons winning a third award and an absolute first national award (14 years old).
Between the fourteen and the seventeen, I learn playing electric guitar by the hard way with the teacher Roberto Bettelli, studing all the modern techniques and winning a "Best Musician" award at a national band competition.
Consecutively, I successfully obtain the third level at the Lizard accademy for the Hard/Rock and Heavy Metal guitar courses.
From some years, my musical business is with Toto cover band "Hydra", playing in local pubs and squares.

The Guitar Making:
At seventeen I feel the need of having a guitar that match well with my playing, so I begin to make it by myself.
After the attainment of the graduation at the scientific high school, I frequent the professional course of Master Luthier in Gubbio (PG), successfully obtaining the certificate.
From now on, my career as a professional Guitar Maker and Restorer, begin; facilitated from being a guitar player, that know exactly the needing of who play this instrument.
In May 2006 I frequent a class on making archtop guitars held by John Monteleone in Sarzana; two months after, I muck in a course of restoring techniques with Adam Whone.
